Unexpected interaction between ocean currents and bacteria may weaken ocean's ability to absorb
For the first time, researchers have successfully demonstrated an interaction between ocean currents and bacteria: The unexpected interaction leads to the production of vast amounts of nitrogen gas in the Pacific Ocean. This takes place in one of the largest oxygen free water masses in the world -- and these zones are expanding. This can ultimately weaken the ocean's ability to absorb CO2.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/UnDIPE0XnKE" height="1" width="1"/>
